Each year, 41,000 people die of breast cancer. To bring awareness and support for local women in our community, Fleet Feet Sports is hosting the first annual “Run for the Ta-Tas” 5K Fun Run/Walk at Fleet Feet Sports Severna Park as part of its Grand Opening Weekend on Saturday, Nov 2, at 9:00am.

This is no ordinary running event. This run is done “Ta-Ta Chaser” style, and is a one-of-a-kind in Anne Arundel County. All women will be released at 9:00am, and the men will be released at 9:03am to “chase” after the women. The first person to cross the finish line, whether male or female, will win $100 cash. Women are encouraged to decorate sports bras to wear during the run in honor of those diagnosed with breast cancer in our city. Prizes will be available for kids, and “Best Sports Bra” worn at the run.

This event is completely free and open to all ages. During the event, donations will be accepted for MetaVivor Research & Support, Inc., a local organization that supports women and men with metastatic breast cancer in the Greater Annapolis area. After the run, Fleet Feet Sports Severna Park will host a Grand Opening Customer Appreciation Expo with food, massages, raffle prizes, professional stretching, discounts in-store and more.
